A Vegan Culinary experience!

So easy to book either on their new website, phone, WhatsApp but we use Facebook messenger! New menu has hit, we had the Crispy Chilli B**f to start and the flavours and the texture is immense! Gill had S*lmon which omg was amazing again the texture and flavours are superb! I had the R*bs and Ch*cken combo, the bbq r*bs are the best if ever eaten! For dessert we shared the Biscotti cheesecake and a takeaway Jaffa Cake Cake, the service is excellent with just enough time between courses! Excellent value for money! Cannot wait to go again!

Fantastic food

This place definitely lives up to the hype. We had the chicken and ribs, fish and chips and a few of the small plates. All were amazing, one of the best vegan restaurants we've visited. Definitely visit if you're in the area.

Well, This Place Lives Up To The Hype!

Well, blimey, there is a lot of hype surrounding this place and I actually went in expecting that it couldn't live up to it (and that they don't totally do the sort of food I like), I was worried they relied too heavily on bought in vegan meats, I was totally wrong on all accounts.

Believe the hype.

All of the food was cooked to an exceptionally high quality. I'm often wary of ordering Asian dishes from British run places as they often disappoint. They really did not here. The main events of each dish were perfect and don't need much talking about. It's the details that matter.... dishes that were meant to be sticky and crispy (the crispy chilli beef) are quite a test even for many chinese restaurants and I've been disappointed by quite a few, this crispy chilli beef was just perfect. All vegetables in all the dishes were cooked to perfection.

The reliance on bought in mock meat isn't a problem as they know exactly how to play to each products strengths.

Pros: Great ambience and space, Amazing food, Friendly staff

Cons: Do book a table if you want to eat here

Great selection of vegan food and drink with an emphasis on really good faux meat dishes. Portions are good. All vegan beers and good selection of non alcoholic beer. Pub has a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Staff are lovely and very helpful. It is very dog friendly.

Pros: Great ribs, Good selection of non alcoholic beers, Everything is vegan!

Wonderful place

What an incredible find, the menu is amazing and it was hard to choose. However, you can hardly make a wrong choice, everything we had was delicious. One highlight were definitely the BBQ ribs - we had them as a starter and could not resist to get another plate as a dessert instead of a cake😁(which I’m sure would have also been fantastic). We will definitely be back if we’re in the area.

Lovely vegan pub

We visited in February and loved the food! Lots of choices and decent portions. The place is dog friendly, with meal choices for the four legged ones too! 😍 Our doggo loved her two course meal too. 😁 We'll definitely visit again. Can't wait to try the new menu!
Edit: New pics added since we visited several times. 😍😋

Humongous Portions!

Visited not once but THREE times over a stay in Cwmbran. Firstly excellent menu choice - but it is heavily centred around fake-meats which I am not always a massive fan of. Had a nice burger with mac & cheese (which was a little on the dry side), a mixed grill (which we shared) and some sides (definitely recommend the cauliflower wings and crab cakes!). The portions are absolutely huge (which did make me think about the potential of food wastage) but you can ask for takeaway box. Finally had a Sunday roast which was great aside from the plain boiled potatoes which weren't needed. Even included a vegan yorkshire pudding - my first time having one not home-made! Service was brilliant, and even though I personally thought some items may need some minor refinement, it is amazing to see a fully vegan classic pub.

Do note they have one or two beers which aren't vegan (I think Carling?) which I was surprised about.

Must Visit!

Visited twice in our 4 night trip to the area. Food was awesome and I would highly recommend. Over 2 visits we tried crispy beef, Mac n cheese, lamb skewers & battered tofu (starters)chicken & ribs combo, Queen Inn burger, beef lasagne & lamb kebab topped fries (mains). Portions were generous (the kebab fries defeated my mother half)

Cerys our waitress was super friendly and helpful and made a fuss of our dog who was very welcomed with doggy bickies and blankets. There are even doggy items on the menu.

Run, don't walk to Queen Inn

Pros: Very dog friendly , Amazing staff, Great menu selection

Fantastic food!

We really enjoyed our visit to The Queen Inn. The staff were all very friendly, the service was great. The menu is extensive, and heavy on faux-meats, which we're in to, so that was great for us! We both tried the 'R*bs & ch*cken combo' which has some BBQ 'ribs and some garlic & herb 'chicken' breast, with corn-on-the-cob, chips and salad. We also ordered a mac 'n' cheese side, and the Korean BBQ cauliflower wings side. Everything was delicious! The portions are large. I had a slice of the caramel cheesecake to take-away and that was great too.

Pros: 100% vegan, Friendly service, Amazing faux meats

Amazing food and friendly staff

We ate at The Queen Inn twice during our stay in the area. The food is incredible! Generous portion sizes and good value. The staff are friendly and very accommodating - on one of our visits we had our dog with us. We let the staff know in advance that he is nervous of people and other dogs and they made sure we were sat in a quieter area which relieved any stress we had of taking him with us. He enjoyed the doggy sausages!

Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Dog friendly

a must for vegans and meat eaters won't be disappointed in their vegan steaks either

Great to see this totally vegan pub/restaurant doing well.

Had a great meal and even better pudding.

Our non vegan companion had a great meal too.

Great choice, huge portions

I loved that the whole menu is vegan but it's just a standard no frills pub. The portions are massive and very tasty. We foolishly went for 5 sides to try as much as possible but there were basically full meal portions! BBQ ribs were a highlight and the crispy chilli beef almost took convincing!

Replete!

Fabulous all vegan menu - went for the Sunday roast. Brilliant selection, between us we tasted the juicy marbles filet (obviously sorcery involved!), ch*cken balontine, Glamorgan melt and lentil, mushroom and pumpkin seeds loaf. All meals were sooo tasty - kudos to the lashings of gravy and Yorkshire puds. We sampled quite a few starters and the caramel cheesecake for pud (1 serving between 4 because we were stuffed!). Lovely atmosphere, super friendly staff- we will be back!

Vegan pub heaven

The Queen Inn is a vegan pub which has an extensive fully vegan menu. They have typical british food such as different steaks, indian and chinese classics and desserts with more than generous portion sizes. The food is like a huge cheat meal full of flavour and the location is great, inside is cozy and outside they have a nice area with wood tables and subtle lights. I wish them only the best, we had an amazing time at their place and to be able to have a fully vegan menu that it's not either raw vegan or only different burgers is a bliss for when you want to indulge a bit. Price is also good, we were a party of 4 and spent around 23£ pp with no desserts.

Bloomin’ lovely

Absolutely lovely staff and delicious food. Classic pub vibe and dog friendly. The menu is entirely vegan so we took forever to choose as there’s just so many options, but the food was great and it’s a real gem of a place. We had the juicy marbles steaks, crispy beef side and hot cross bun pudding. Lush!

Pros: Delicious food, big portions, Lovely staff, Decent prices, lots of options

Cons: Ever so slightly rowdy on a weekday, harmless lads
